Things that are broke, but aren't getting fixed anytime soon:

  * Non-working alarm(10) in Linux (calls to gethostbyaddr/name() have
    blocked for long periods when bind/named doesn't resolve quickly,
    and the alarm does not interrupt it).

    Note: This should now work if you use the dns module.

  * High-bit characters are being filtered from channel names. This is
    a fault of the Tcl interpreter, and not Eggdrop. The Tcl interpreter
    filters the characters when it reads a file for interpreting. Update
    your Tcl to version 8.1 or higher.

  * Version 8.1 of Tcl doesn't support unicode characters, for example, è.
    If those characters are handled in a script as text, you run into errors.
    Eggdrop can't handle these errors at the moment.
